Itinéraire
Grasse est une ville majeure du moyen-pays de la Côte d'Azur située dans l'ouest du département des Alpes-Maritimes à 12 km au nord de Cannes sur la côte méditerranéenne. Grasse est la capitale mondiale du parfum, supplantant Montpellier dont la Faculté de pharmacie était la source de la création d'onguents et de parfums. Découvrez ses ruelles pavées datant de l'époque médiévale et ses bâtiments historiques.
Installée depuis 1926 dans cette magnifique usine, tannerie au XVIIIe siècle, elle est devenue usine de parfumerie au tout début du siècle suivant. Entièrement rénovée et sublimée en 2013, elle offre un parcours original de découverte des mystères de la parfumerie traditionnelle, depuis le traitement des matières premières jusqu’au conditionnement des produits finis. Les machines utilisées, des alambics en cuivre à celles des ateliers de savonnerie, offrent un intérêt historique, social et culturel sur les techniques et conditions de travail régissant les parfumeries familiales jusqu’aux années 1950.
Situé dans les montagnes des pré Alpes , Gourdon bénéficie d'une vue à couper le souffle. Profitez de ces petites échoppes aux spécialités locales comme la verrerie familiale ou la confiserie artisanale.
Découvrez le savoir-faire traditionnel, fusionné à un amour sans égal pour la vigne, qui donne naissance à de grands vins biologiques. Ces cépages uniques, le Rolle pour le blanc, le Braquet pour le rosé et la Folle Noire et le Grenache pour le Rouge, reflètent la typicité et le caractère de ces vins rares.
